+can-0.7.1-tm5 the enhanced version with better support of
+ SJA1000 PeliCAN mode and CAN Ethernet proxy
+ contributed by Tomasz Motylewski <T.Motylewski@bfad.de>
+
+can-0.7.1-pi1 the import and usage of previous version for
+(Dec 2002) OCERA group purposes
+
+can-0.7.1-pi3.4 enhanced version with select support and rewritten
+(Mar 2003) make system for Linux kernels (2.2.x,2.4.x,2.5.x),
+ interrupts service cleanup and partial redesign
+ and DEVFS support
+
+lincan-0.2-pre heavily rewritten infrastructure of the driver based
+(Aug 2003) on atomic slot management of queues
+
+lincan-0.2 version tested on many bords and 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 Linux
+(Mar 2004) and RT-Linux enabled 2.4 Linux kernel
+
+lincan-0.2.8 possible SMP and HT deadlock fixed, driver can take
+(Jul 2004) advantage of CMPXCHG instruction if present on CPU,
+ added support for CPC-PCI and PCAN-PCI cards,
+ messages timestamping implemented
+ partially implemented support for Bosch C_CAN module,
+ requires more work and real hardware
+
+lincan-0.3 Changed SJA1000 chip IRQ handling. Enhanced VME
+(Nov 2004) and EMS CPC-PCI support and many other changes.
+
+The actual version of driver have been latest tested it with
+ - PC104 Advantech PCM3680 dual channel board on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel
+ - PiKRON ISA card on 2.4.and 2.6 Linux kernels
+ - BfaD DIMM PC card on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel
+ - KVASER pcican-q on 2.6 Linux kernel
+ - MICROSPACE msmcan on 2.4 Linux and RT-Linux enabled kernel
+ - Unicontrols PCAN ("unican"),PCAN-PCI ("unican-pci"), VCAN ("unican-vme")
+ - EMS CPC-PCI cards ("ems_cpcpci")
+ - virtual board tested on all systems as wel
+It takes more time to test driver with more cards.
+Infrastructure and support for more than 20 boards with more
+variants is prepared in the sources.

+COMPILATION of LinCAN releases
+==============================
+
+Just type 'make' at the command line and driver module should compile
+without errors for current running kernel.
+
+More information can be found in driver documentation at
+ http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/can/
+ http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/can/lincandoc-X.Y.pdf
+
+Some releases use experimental OMK make system, which requires
+recent GNU make program version 3.81beta1 and above.
+Makefiles can be switched to old ones by script
+
+ sh ./switch-omk2std
+ make
+
+If you have problem to obtain recent GNU make program,
+
+ http://paulandlesley.org/make/make-3.81beta1.tar.bz2
+
+you can use our local copy

+COMPILATION from CVS sources without full OCERA tree
+====================================================
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Obtaining CVS sources of the CAN components only
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ocera login
+ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ocera co

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Commands to build OCERA CVS CAN components outside OCERA tree
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ cd ocera/components/comm/can
+ ./switch2standalone
+ make
+
+The selection of required features and options can be specified before make
+command invocation. Lines containing required changes to config.omk-default
+file should be stored in config.omk file. The config.omk is not altered by
+OMK system and options defined there override values defined in
+config.omk-default file. GNU make program version 3.81beta1 or newer is
+required by OMK make-system. If this is problem, LinCAN driver can be
+compiled with use of old style Makefiles as well.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Old style Makefiles compilation of the LinCAN driver only
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ cd ocera/components/comm/can/lincan
+ ./switch2std
+ make
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+Type 'make install' for standard make system compilation.
+The driver should be copied into actual kernel version
+modules directory "/lib/modules/x.y.z/kernel/drivers/char".
+
+OMK system requires manual copy of files from "_compiled" tree
+to its final destinations.
